Whatever her faults, she was full of qualities that we can admire today. The best part is the very end when he describes her trial and execution. Ultimately, Castelot does sympathize with Marie Antoinette. Castelot does imply that some of these accusations might be true, such as her alleged affair with Axel von Fersen or her supposed frivolity (whatever that means). Malicious pamphleteers spread many baseless accusations against Marie Antoinette before and during the Revolution. For the average educated Frenchman, there would be no need to explain further, but it might be difficult for a non-French reader to follow his narrative. He mentions in passing the many controversies about her life before and during the Revolution without explaining them. Castelot shows the evil of some revolutionaries but is careful not to take too hard a position against the Revolution - a difficult task when the satanic malice of the French Revolution was so well documented. Unlike most 19th century French historians, he tries to take a more neutral position towards the French Revolution and its victims. It is very lively and interesting, with lots of actual dialogue. He wrote it in the 1950s for a popular French audience. His style was more that of a journalist and a playwright than that of a professional historian.
